13. Analyze Final Results
Check thermal resistances for shellside, tubeside, fouling, and tube metal.
Check dominant value.
Shellside Heat Transfer Limited
B stream: normally at least 60% of total flow for turbulent flow and
40% for laminar flow
C and F stream: Normally should not exceed 10%
13.6 Pressure Drop
It is highly undesirable if the exchanger is limited by ∆P, exchangers are larger than
necessary to accommodate allowable ∆P rather than to satisfy heat transfer demands.
For critical exchangers (condenser, reboiler), try to meet the required ∆P.
For heavy streams, “no fouling” is the first concern over ∆P.
Shellside ∆P Limited
Action Result Watch For
Change shell type ∆P reduced greatly (TEMA E
to J decrease by up to
factor of 8)
Investigate multi- Double-segmental baffle ∆P Tube vibration is
segmental bundles reduced to about 1/3 of that possible
for segmental baffle with
same central spacing
Investigate NTIW ∆P reduced to 1/4 if window Extreme caution:
bundles area large enough inefficient heat
transfer may result
Increase baffle cut ∆P reduced by large cut
